Qi Jian joined the Wu Tian Sect in the fifth year of his career. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and honing his chess skills. Only then did he achieve his current level of cultivation.
This is why Wu Tianzong and others were surprised that Ye Chen solved this mess in just nine people.
"This young man from Sword God Sect is quite good!" Shu Zong, who rarely praised others, sighed again.
As the saying goes, there are specializations in the arts, and what this Sword God Sect is best at is swordsmanship, swordsmanship, not chess. However, this young man can achieve such high attainments in chess.
However, the chess master saw the stunned and surprised expressions on his disciples' faces and smiled faintly: "An endgame doesn't mean anything. The most indispensable thing on this chess path is the endgame. It's a long chess path. I don't know where he will stop!"
"The way of chess is like the way of swordsmanship. If you have perseverance, you can continue on this path!" Hua Zong, who had been silent all this time, chuckled.
"As the saying goes, there are specialties in the arts, and the way taught by the Sword God Sect is the way of the sword. I dare to say that this young man will definitely stop within fifty endings!" Qin Zong shook his head slightly and said with emotion.
"Oh! Senior Brother Qin thinks so?" Hua Zong shook his head in disapproval and said, "I think this young man will not stop at fifty endgames, at least stop at one hundred!"
"The first endgame was solved by the young man with only nine pieces. It can be seen that this young man's strength must be extraordinary. Brother Qin and Brother Hua, you two must have underestimated him!" Shu Zong!
He quite disagreed with the words of Qin Zong and Hua Zong. Hearing this, Qi Zong also smiled and said lightly: "Indeed, this young man is very accomplished in chess. He will not stop at one hundred endings, but he may stop at two hundred.
Endgame!”
"Haha! Brother Qi, compared to the two of them, your guess is nothing more than fifty steps and a hundred steps!" The sword finger was slightly raised, Shu Zong pointed to the last chessboard below, and said with a faint smile: "I am.
I think he will stop here!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zong, Qi Zong and Hua Zong all had a look of astonishment in their eyes, and then they shook their heads slightly, as Hua Zong's words were too much.
"Junior Brother Shu, you are quite optimistic about this young man!" Qin Zong shook his head slightly, obviously disapproving of Shu Zong's words.
"Why don't you and me, my junior brother, make a bet?" Hua Zong suggested, with a hint of brilliance flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this, Qin Zong and Qi Zong both looked at Shu Zong subconsciously, with a smile flashing in their eyes, and said in unison: "This is a very good statement. I wonder if Junior Brother Shu has the confidence to participate?"
Hearing this, Shu Zong shook his head helplessly and cursed with a smile: "You three old immortals are trying to distract me from my pots of ginkgo wine again!"
"Junior brother, that's wrong. I'm not just trying to get your attention, I'm also trying to get their attention!" Qin Zong shook his head and chuckled.
Baiguo Nong is a kind of precious wine, and the five of them got a few bottles by chance. However, usually they are so cruel to this precious Baiguo Nong that they only drink one cup every day.
After hearing this, Huazong also said: "This proposal is not bad, I will participate!"
"Such a good thing is of course indispensable for me, and I will also participate!" Qi Zong looked at the chess path below with confidence and chuckled.
"If who loses, take out a pot of Baiguozong and give it to the winner!" Qin Zong turned to look at Shu Zong and said, "Junior Brother Shu, what do you think?"
"This can be done!" Shu Zong clasped his hands behind his back and was extremely confident in his judgment.
"It seems that Junior Brother Shu is going to hand over Baiguo Nong to me!" Qi Zong stroked his beard on his chin and laughed loudly.
The Wutian Sect disciples standing behind the five people all had dumbfounded expressions. Are these the same five stern masters from the past?
Smiling without saying a word, Shuzong did not argue with the three people about this issue. He turned around, looked at Wu Zong, and said, "Brother Wu, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Wu Zong, who had his hands behind his back, turned around and looked at Shu Zong, smiling without saying a word. His eyes fell on the last chessboard below, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shu Zong shrugged helplessly and looked towards the foot of the mountain. A look of astonishment appeared on his face. When they were talking, Ye Chen did not move forward, but stood still!
"Since the young man has solved the endgame, why doesn't he continue to move forward?" Shu Zong asked doubtfully. Hearing this, the other three people also shook their heads, quite puzzled by Ye Chen's move.
"Perhaps he was injured during the resolution and is recovering from his injuries!" Qin Zong said.
After hearing this, the other three people thought for a while and nodded immediately.
On the long road, two thin figures stood proudly on the mountain road, and the roaring wind and snow drowned their figures.
The long black hair was blowing in the wind behind Ye Chen's back, and the cold snowflakes silently fell on Ye Chen's face. Ye Chen closed his eyes tightly, and the Xuan Bing Jue in his body started to work.
After breaking through the first endgame, Ye Chen did not continue to move forward. Instead, he stood on the same spot, quietly comprehending the hint of sword intent contained in the chessboard.
A hint of realization flowed in his heart. After a long time, Ye Chen raised his head, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ye Chen's eyes looking at this chess path also changed accordingly. Although the sword intention contained in these endgames are mostly the same, the mystery of how to integrate the sword intention into the endgame and the sword intention itself are worthy of Ye Chen's insights.
This chess way is not a chess way. In Ye Chen's opinion, this chess way is also a sword way.
Holding the wine bottle, Ye Chen took a casual sip, turned his back to Su Feixuan and said, "Feixuan, let's go!"
After saying that, Ye Chen walked towards the second chessboard ten meters away, with Su Feixuan following closely behind.
Nowadays, Ye Chen's every move attracts everyone's attention. Seeing Ye Chen walking towards the second chessboard, Wu Tian's five sects stopped discussing and kept an eye on Ye Chen.
The black and white chess pieces fell chaotically on the chessboard. When Ye Chen walked into the chessboard, a crisp sword chant sounded and sword energy emerged.
A chessboard made of sword energy emerged from the void, and the sword energy turned into black and white chess pieces and scattered on it.
With his mind slightly focused, Ye Chen's eyes wandered over the chessboard, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
Every endgame is no less than a fight for Ye Chen. In the process of solving the game, not only the overall layout must be taken into consideration, but also the details.
After a few breaths, Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes, and a picture of a chessboard appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
If the starry sky is compared to a chessboard, then the stars in the sky are black and white pieces. Ye Chen constantly simulates the results of countless moves in his mind, and guesses the next direction of the black pieces.
In the end game in front of him, the black stones are scattered around, and the white stones are trapped in the middle. The black stones occupy a huge space. If Ye Chen wants to press the black stones from the outside, so that the black stones can be broken without attacking, but the black stones can echo from beginning to end. Therefore,
This won't work.
The wind and snow were blowing, and the cold snowflakes gently crossed Ye Chen's cheeks. The cold feeling of the snowflakes made Ye Chen calm down more and more.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen looked at the chessboard transformed by the sword energy in front of him, with a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes: "If I use the white stones to press the black stones from the outside, then I will inevitably be resisted by the black stones like taking off their boots. At that time,
, Heizi echoed from beginning to end, and I was attacked from all sides, and this game is over!" Ye Chen murmured softly, shaking his head slightly, rejecting the previous idea.
Snowflakes fell lightly from Ye Chen's eyes. A breeze blew in his face, and the falling snowflakes floated towards the sky again.
Seeing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, and he said softly: "Reverse thinking!"
"Since the outer perimeter is not good, then we have to break through the inner perimeter. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't be able to catch the tiger's cub! Now, with just a few steps, Bai Zi can create a wide calamity. At that time, Heizi will be destroyed!" The sword energy appeared on Ye Chen's fingertips.
When it came out, it transformed into a white stone. Ye Chen's eyes quickly moved around the chessboard, and when he pointed out with his sword, the white stone suddenly fell down.
The roar resounded, the sword intent contained in the endgame exploded, and one of its sunspots also emerged.
Without the slightest pause, Ye Chen seemed to predict the direction of Heizi. After Heizi emerged, Ye Chen pointed out with his sword finger.
Bang bang! Nine crisp roars resounded. After the ninth roar sounded, the chessboard transformed by the sword energy shattered...
A look of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces. This second endgame was undoubtedly solved by Ye Chen.
